Google plans October 29 event

Google has reportedly sent out invites for an event in New York on October 29 and it is widely believed the outfit will use the occasion to introduce a new Nexus phone, possibly even a revamped Nexus 7 tablet.

The phone, of course, is the LG Nexus, or Nexus 4. It’s a 4.7-inch device with a quad-core Qualcomm Krait processor and 2GB of RAM. Google is also expected to launch a 32GB version of the Nexus 7 tablet, but there is also talk of a Nexus 10 tablet, although we don’t believe the latter will show up at the event.

Apple has also scheduled an event for late October and it will introduce the iPad mini on October 23, Microsoft's Surface RT is also on the way, so Google’s decision to revamp the Nexus 7 comes as no surprise.
